paddyx I've got a Warmlite frost watcher with thermostatic control in my van. It's a 500 Watt and I usually keep it at 200 watt with a dehumidifier and there's absolutely no damp at all. In fact I bought 2 of the Warmlite heaters as they were cheaper so if you want it you can have it. I highly recommend it and very simple to fit.

i got one of those tubular heaters which are supposed to be like a light bulb in power consumption and its rubbish at trying to put any sort of warmth into the space, others swear by them though.

Jury is out.

I use nothing, creating heat in the Motorhome promotes condensation. Leave doors and cupboards open to allow movement of air and keep blinds closed. If the air in the Motorhome is the same as the outside then it doesn't produce condensation.

No point using an Electric dehumidifier as that only sucks air in from the outside.

But each to their own
